The Miller Creative Quad will include two new residence halls on the second and third floors of the Quad's two buildings, featuring single and double rooms, common lounges, and classroom space. The new student living space will support the College's engaged learning mission and will be a catalyst for the long-term revitalization and update of the College's six heritage residence halls.

It will also be a tremendous asset for the Conway community and artists throughout the region. The museum will:
The south building of the Miller Creative Quad will feature music practice rooms, music faculty offices, and music classroom space with modern technology to enhance our students' engagement in the many musical opportunities available at Hendrix.
This building will also feature a 990-square-foot auditorium with an industry-standard film screening room. This space will accommodate guests for special events connected with the museum, such as artist talks. It will also serve classes in the College's growing film studies program, as well as film events organized by student clubs and organizations.
"Just imagine walking across campus on a Friday afternoon, and in the distance you hear strings or jazz or voices raised in song. As you venture into the Creative Quad, you will be surrounded by activity and caught up in the energy: there is the art museum, with an exhibition hung and a gallery talk underway; across the quadrangle, an ensemble plays in open air; in the new auditorium, a film is being screened in state-of-the-art facilities; beyond the archway are actors bringing a scene to life."William M.
